  • Patent number: 11722523
    Abstract: Solution management systems and methods are presently disclosed that enable receiving, compiling, and analyzing vendor solutions, determining the vendor solutions that address a target vulnerability of a client network and/or client devices, determining additional vulnerabilities of the client network and/or client devices that the vendor solutions address, and selecting a vendor solution to remediate the target vulnerability. The presently disclosed systems and methods also enable scoring, risk evaluation, and additional metrics to facilitate determining the vendor solution(s) that have the largest impact and/or benefit to the various vulnerabilities of the client network and/or client devices.

  • Publication number: 20220382881
    Abstract: A system may include persistent storage containing representations of configuration items discovered in a managed network, where the configuration items include computing devices and software applications installed on the computing devices. One or more processors may be configured to: (i) obtain results of a vulnerability analysis performed on a software application, where the results indicate that the software application exhibits a vulnerability, (i) determine a count of computing devices on which the software application is installed, (iii) calculate a security threat score for the vulnerability, where the security threat score is based on a severity factor of the vulnerability and the count of computing devices, (iv) provide, to a first entity, a first indication of the software application and the vulnerability, and (v) provide, to a second entity, a second indication of the software application, the vulnerability, and the security threat score.

  • Publication number: 20200236129
    Abstract: A vulnerability scorecard correlates a vulnerability detected for a network-connected host with an underlying CI, services that may my run on, depend from, or otherwise utilize the CI, and the service owners responsible for the services. The vulnerability scorecard may include a GUI that includes window, widgets, and/or other visualizations that represent data related to the vulnerabilities, CIs, services, service owners, etc. The vulnerability scorecard widgets may be separated into groups and distributed over pages organized by tabs.
